General Land Office, 

Wafthhigton, D. C, February 5, 1903. 
Sir: Respectfully referring- to your letter dated Ma}^ 31, 1901, detail- 
ing- Arthur D. Kidder, examiner of surveys, to make the necessary 
observations and calculations and to establish the point of intersection 
of the true one hundredth meridian with the Red River, under the 
provisions of the act of Congress approved January 15, 1901 (31 Stats., 
731), 1 have the honor to report that by letter dated January 24, 1903, 
]VIr. Kidder transmitted to this office the complete Held notes, in dupli- 
cate, of said determination. The said Meld notes of the observations 
and calculations for the establishment of the point of intersection of 
the true one hundredth meridian with the Red River having been 
examined, it appears that Mr. Kidder has fulfilled the requirements of 
his instructions from this office, dated February -4, 1902, and the said 
field notes and the determination the}^ describe have therefore been 
approved on this date. 

******* 

I transmit herewith the duplicate copj^ of said field notes of the 

establishment of the point of intersection of the true one hundredth 

meridian with the Red River, in temporary binding, duly approved 

by this office, for such action as you may desire to take in the matter. 

Very respectfully, 

W. A. Richards, Coimnissioner. 
The honorable Secretary of the Interior. 



Department of the Interior, 

AYiuliington^ Fehruary ,9, 1903. 
^'ir: The first section of the act of Cong-ress approved January 15, 
1901 (31 Stats., 731), provides as follows: 

That the Secretary of the Interior be, and he is hereby, authorized and directed 
to cause to be estabUshed and fixed the intersection of the true one hundredth merid- 
ian with Red River, or what, prior to said decision, was known some time as the 
South Fork of Red River, or Prairie Dog Town Fork, by the most accurate and sci- 
entific methods, and 'at said intersection cause a suitable monument to be erected on 
the ground. 

On December 1, 1902, in compliance with the direction thus given, 
I reported to you that I had caused a determination of the intersection 
of the true one hundredth meridian with Red River, and the establish- 
ment of a permanent monument to mark such intersection, and trans- 
mitted with the report a copy of the preliminary report of Arthur D. 
Kidder, examiner of surveys, who performed the work.

4 THE ONE HUNDEEDTH MERIDIAN. 

I now have the honor to transmit herewith, as a final report, and for 
the information of the Congress, a copy of the observations, calcula- 
tions, and field notes of the establishment of the point of intersection 
of the true one hundredth meridian with the Red River, by Arthur 
D. Kidder, examiner of surveys, General Land OflSce, and a copy of 
so much of the letter of the 6th instant, from the Commissioner of the 
General Land Ofiice, as relates to the subject.

THE RED RIVER OBSERVATORY. 

February 13, 1902, I found the old initial monument of the Texas 
and Oklahoma boundary, on the crest of the hill that rises to the 
north from the left bank of the South Fork of the Red River; this 
monument is — 

A combination of gypsum-sandstone 5 b}^ 12 by 18 inches above 
ground, set in a small mound of stone; marked 100 W on east face, 
and 1 M on west face; established by A. H. Jones and H. M. C. Brown, 
United States surve3^ors, in 1859, under their contract with the Com- 
missioner of Indian Affairs, dated October 13, 1857. 

Latitude, 34^ 34' 1:3". 4; longitude, 100 ' 00' 45".41 (preliminary 
assumption). Values as determined by Prof. Henry S. Pritchett in 
1892, and assumed by me in preliminary work. (See printed records 
in the Supreme Court of the United States in the case involving title 
to Greer County, Tex., now Greer County, Okla.) 

From the initial monument I projected a random meridian south 
across Red River to an intersection with the Fort Worth and Denver 
Railroad, about 14 miles distant, where arrangement was made to 
connect with the wires of the Western Union Telegraph Company. 

In the projection of the random meridian, I used transit No. 7058 
made b}' Young & Sons, and equipped with the Smith solar attach- 
ment. A solar meridian was determined at ever}^ instrument point. 

The point of intersection being unfavorable for astronomical obser- 
vations, a point for the Red River observatory was chosen on a small 
hill a])out a quarter of a mile north of the railroad and a little less 
than half of a mile east of the projected meridian. At this assumed 
point a concrete pier was built for the meridian telescope, and a small 
shed opening in the meridian was constructed to protect the instru- 
ments. 

February 16, 1902, at apparent noon, at the astronomical pier, I set 
12"" 26' S. on the decl. arc of the solar and observe the sun on the 
meridian; the resulting latitude being = 34^ 23' N., which is the value 



8 THE ONE HUNDREDTH MERIDIAN. 

used in the following observations and calculations. (No requirement 
in the longitude determination calling for a more precise determination 
of the latitude of the place of observation.) 

February 16, 1902, at 2*' 0" p. m. App. T., at the astronomical pier 
I set 34° 23' N. on the lat. arc of the solar, 12° 24' S. on the decl. arc, 
and determine the meridian in azimuth, which I mark upon the ground 
for preliminary work. 

From the astronomical pier a sandstone 10 by 12 by 18 inches above 
ground, marked C. C. on west face and H. C. on east face, bears S. 
77° 24' E. 39.54 chains distant; this stone is on the meridian county 
line between Childress and Hardeman counties, Tex., and lies a few 
hundred feet north of the Fort Worth and Denver Railroad, the Red 
River observatory being in Childress County, Tex. 

The observatory was established February 18, 1902. The equip- 
ment consisted of a Wurdemann meridian telescope, object glass 2i 
inches, focal length 24 inches; a Saegmuller chronograph, and a Bond 
& Son's sidereal break-circuit chronometer No. 668, property of the 
General Land Office, and a full set of telegraphic instruments, prop- 
erty of the Western Union Telegraph Company. 

THE LEVELS. 

The meridian telescope is provided with two striding levels: 
(1) "Old level," zero at the center of the tube, to be used with a 
bubble approximately 80 divisions long, the value of 1 division of 
which I determined on a Saegmuller "level-trier" to be, d=0^.08, as 
follows:

THE WERE INTERVALS 

The reticle of the meridian telescope contains seven wires, but being 
broadly spaced as suited to e^^e and ear observations, it was found ad- 
visable to use five wires in our chronographic method. 

To determine the wire intervals of the meridian telescope, Mr. 
MacConnel observed 51 Cephei H March 5, 1902, clamp west:

THE ST. liOUIS OBSERVATORY. 

The observatory of the Washington Universit}^ at St. Louis, Mo., 
was chosen as the reference observatory, and Chancellor W. S. Chaplin, 
of the University, kindly granted the use of their instruments to the 
United States for the determination. 

Latitude = 38° 38' 3" .0; longitude=6'* 00'" 49« .168 (Standard). 

The equipment of the St. Louis observatory used })y us was their 
Fauth transit instrument, object glass ^i inches, focal length 30 inches; 
a Warner and Zwazey chronograph; and their large sidereal break- 
circuit clock. The Western Union Telegraph Company also installed 
a full set of telegraphic instruments at the St. ]jOuis observatory and 
connected ])oth observatories to their wires. 

THE LEVEL. 



The St. Louis transit is provided with an accurate striding level, 
zero at the center; to be used with a bubble approximately 20 divi- 
sions long; 1 division of the level is: d—0'' .136. 



12 THE ONE HUNDREDTH MERIDIAN. 

WIRE INTERVALS. 

The seven wires of the reticle of the St. Louis transit are properly 
spaced for chronographic work, and all were used, the wire intervals, 
clamp west, are: 



1 -13. 428 

2 - 8.911 

3 - 4.466 

4 - 0.010 



5 + 4.432 

6 + 8.927 

7 +13.456 



The above values for the level and wire intervals were kindl.y fur- 
nished bj^ Professor Lichter, astronomer, Washington University. 

PROGRAMME. 

The nightly programme consisted in the determination of the precise 
error of each local sidereal timepiece in order to ascertain the absolute 
sidereal time at each station at the epoch of exchanging time signals. 

A carefully prepared list of twelve stars was chosen for observation 
from the American Ephemeris, the same stars being observed at both 
stations. The star list was divided into two parts of six stars each, 
and each part contained five time stars and one azimuth star. 

Between the halves of the star programme the Western Union Tele- 
graph Company opened direct wire service from the St. Louis to the 
Red River observatories, and with the assistance of expert telegraphers, 
we were able to compare the St. Louis clock with the Red River chro- 
nometer by double electric exchanges consisting of thirty arbitrary 
signals sent in each direction. 

At both observatories, during the observations of the stars, and the 
exchanging of time signals, the beats of the local sidereal timepiece 
were being continuously recorded on the local chronograph sheet; the 
observations of the star transits for each wire of the reticle were 
recorded by the respective local chronographs; the arbitrary exchange 
signals were recorded by hoth chronographs. 

DETERMINATION AND ELIMINATION OF ERRORS. 

1. Clock and chronometer rate to the epoch of exchange: The 
exchange of time signals being made as nearly as possible at the mean 
epoch of the evening's programme, and the reduction of the chro- 
nometer and clock correction being for the mean epoch of the even- 
ing's programme, very little error could arise from even neglecting 
the rate; complete preliminary reductions were made, however, dur- 
ing the entire period of the observations from March 5 to April 7, 
inclusive, and having thus a basis for computing the true chronometer 
rate and the true clock rate for this period, a second reduction was 
made of all the observations in which the rate correction to the actual 
epoch of exchange was introduced. This correction is applied directly 
to the mean observed transit of each individual star, and in this way 
the subsequent corrections apply to the epoch of exchange. The 
reductions herewith are the second or final reductions of the observa- 
tions. 

2. Aberration: The mean observed transit of every star was cor- 
rected for diurnal aberration, the correction being sulDtractive for all 
stars observed at upper culmination as were the stars in our pro- 
gramme. 



THE ONE HUNDEEDTH MEEIDIAN. 13 

The correction is: 

K =0\021 cos <p sec S 

3. Level: The level errors of the horizontal axis of both transits, 
or "J" factors, were obtained every evening from sixteen readings of 
the striding levels; four readings in double direct and reversed posi- 
tion of the level were taken at the beginning and end of each half set 
of the observing programme. 

The zero being at the center of the St. Louis level, and the old 
Wurclemanu level, the factor "5" for these levels is given b}^ the 
equation: 

6=1/8 (:2W-:2E)rf 

The new level was used exclusively at the Red River observatory, 
and as the zero of this level is at the east end " direct," the factor " J" 
is given b}'^ the following equation: 

b=l/8{2Dir.-:S'Rev.)d. 

The above equations are designed for four readings of the level and 
a + value of '•'^" indicates that the west end of the horizontal axis of 
the transit is higher than the east end. 

The mean observed transit of every star was corrected for level, the 
correction being: 

K = h cos {(p—S) =bB 
cosS 

4. Right ascension: The three corrections above having been applied 
to the mean observed transit of every star, the diflerence was then 
taken between the chronometer time of the transit of each star as thus 
reduced and the respective right ascension of the star for the evening, 
this difference being called our "1st approximation" to the chronom- 
eter correction for the evening. 

The very small errors due to the adopted right ascension as taken 
from the Ephemeris were eliminated by observing the same stars at 
both observatories. 

5. Collimation: The transit instruments were both reversed in their 
Y's at the end of the first half of the programme each evening, and the 
second half was observed with the transit in reversed position. The 
five time stars of each half set were so chosen as to make their mean 
position in declination as close as possible to the zenith, thereby 
enabling an almost complete elimination of errors due to azimuth in 
the mean of the five "1st approximations" of the time stars of each 
half set; the collimation error being opposite for each half set we 
determined the "c" factor for the evening by taking the difference 
between the mean " 1st approximations" for each half set and dividing 
this difference by the sum of the mean "C" factors of each half set:

The correction is + when the mean fictitious wire of the reticle is 
too far west. Having computed the "c" factor, the correction for 
collimation for each star was given by the equation: 



K=c-^=cC 
cosd 



14 THE ONE HUNDEEDTH MERIDIAN. 

Errors duo to an}^ slight inequality of the pivots of the horizontal 
axis of each transit were also eliminated by the reversal of the transit 
in its Y's between the halves of the evening's observing- programme. 

6. Azimuth: Having solved and applied the collimation correction 
to the 1st approximation of the chronometer correction of each star, 
the result is called "Correction+''i^A;" the azimuth error or "«" fac- 
tor was then computed for each half set by solving an equation involv- 
ing the mean results obtained from the five-time stars as compared with 
a similar result obtained from the slow moving azimuth star of that set: 

Mean of Azimuth 

Time Stars Star 

(Cor+aA) -(Cor+aA) 



A - A 

Mean of Azimuth 

Time Stars Star. 



The correction is -+- when the went end of the axis is too far south. 
The azimuth correction was then computed by the equation: 
K=o sin (ip— 6)=oA 
cos S 

Having applied the azimuth correction given by "«" to the "Cor- 
rection + ffA" of each star, the result is the "chronometer correction'' 
as given by the respective star. 

The mean correction as thus obtained from the ten time stars gave 
the true chronometer correction to be applied to the mean observed 
epoch of exchange of time signals on that evening. 

7. Exchange of time signals: The Western Union Telegraph Company 
were previously informed of the exact moment when we desired to 
exchange our time signals. A few minutes before this moment arrived 
the company cleared the entire circuit for our use, and when all was in 
readiness thirty arbitrary signals, at interv^als of about two seconds, 
were sent from Red River to St. Louis by breaking the main-line cir- 
cuit with the key at Red River. Then thirty similar signals were sent 
from St. Louis to Red River. The sixty signals were recorded by both 
chronographs. 

As the period of sending signals from each station embraced an even 
minute, any slight eccentric chronometric or chronographic errors 
were eliminated, and the mean of so many signals enabled a precise 
calculation of the ''mean epoch of exchange." 

Errors due to transmission time of the electric impulse were elimi- 
nated by taking the mean of the differences of the local sidereal time 
between St. Louis and Red River as given by the signals sent in the 
opposite directions. The signals sent from Red River made the differ- 
ence in longitude appear too great; the signals sent from St. Louis 
made the difference in longitude appear too small. Half the difference 
of the differences as thus obtained is equal to the transmission time. 
The transmission time varies from night to night as a result of the 
weather and other conditions along the thousand miles of wire connect- 
ing the two observatories. 

On April 1 and 7 the circuit was made up via Kansas City and Dal- 
las; on the other nights direct via Dallas. 

The service furnished by the Western Union Telegraph Company 
was perfect in every way and complimentary to the United States.

8. Personal equation: During- the first five observations and exchanges 
Mr. MacConnel observed at Red River and I observed at 8t. Louis. 
We then exchanged places, and Mr. MacConnel conducted the latter 
five observations at St. Louis and I observed at Red River. In this 
manner we eliminated our "relative personal equation" in so far as it 
is possible to do so. It appears from the results, however, that our 
relative personal equation is very small. 

ADJUSTMENTS. 

Preliminary adjustments were made of both transits in order to 
reduce the errors in level, collimation, and azimuth to a minimum 
before commencing to exchange time signals. 

Between March 5 and 14 I readjusted the St. Louis transit in collima- 
tion, and Mr. MacConnel readjusted the Red River transit in azimuth 
and collimation. 

Between March 18 and 26 Professor Lichter, of Washington Uni- 
versity, St. Louis, in undertaking to correct the rather large losing- 
rate of the St. Louis clock caused a greater gaining rate. 

The weather being very mild at Red River between March 26 and 
April 7, the rate of the Red River chronometer was so small as to be 
factorless in the reductions during this period.

PROJECTION. 

In order to establish the point of intersection of the one hundredth 
meridian with the Red River it was necessary to project a true merid- 
ian north from the Red River observatory to the north bank of the 
Red River, and having thus found the point of intersection of the 
meridian whose longitude is 100° 0' 17". 25 with the Red River, a 
measurement to the east of an amount corresponding to the difference 
in longitude of 17". 25 in that latitude Avould accomplish the fixation of 
the point of intersection of the true one hundredth meridian with the 
Red River. 

As a basis for the projection of the meridian passing through the 
Red River transit 1 therefore seta stake for a meridian mark at u point 
as nearly as possible in the true meridian at a distance of 1 mile 32.155 
chains north of the Red River transit. Then to determine the azimuth 
error or ''bearing'" for said pointing, I made careful settings on the 
meridian mark with the astronomical transit, with the telescope both 
direct and reversed, on four nights before commencing the usual 
evening's programme.

The bearing of the meridian mark is therefore found to be: N. 0° 
0' 6". 3 W. 

The natural tangent of 0° 0' 6". 3 with a base of 1 mile 32.155 chains 
is 0.341 links, or 0.225 feet. 

I therefore set a stake with a tack point 0.225 feet ea.st of the center 
of the meridian mark, the tack point thus being in the true meridian 
with the Red River transit, and from the latter point I projected the 
true meridian north to the north bank of the Red River on April 11, 
15. and 16, 1902. 

In the projection of the meridian I' used G. L. O. light mountain 
transit No. 7058 made by Young & Sons; sights averaging from one- 
fourth to one-half mile were made; at every instrument point I took 
two back and two fore sights, one with the telescope direct and one 
with the telescope in reversed position, ])etween which I carefull}^ 
releveled, undertaking by this procedure to eliminate all instrumental 
errors in so far as it is possible to do so; stakes were carefully set at 
every instrument point, and the mean position of the two foresights 
was considered as the correct projection. My party consisted of one 
rear flagman and one front flagman, the latter being assisted by a man

with field glasses, enabling- precise settings of the flag. In this man- 
ner the meridian was projected northward across Red River to a point 
due east of the old initial monument on the Texas and Oklahoma 
boundary, described on page 7. There was no necessity for chaining 
this line, but the distance is about l-i miles. 

The measurements on the parallel of latitude passing through the 
old initial monument on the Texas and Oklahoma boundar}- were made 
with a 200-foot steel tape, standard at 10 pounds tension and temper- 
ature 62"^ F. A constant tension of 10 pounds was maintained during 
measurements by means of an attached spring balance. Temperature 
readings were taken during measurements with a thermometer. 

The latitude of the initial monument is 31^ 31'. 7 N. (see p. 7), and 
the altitude above sea level is approximateU' 0.2 mile. 

April 16, 1902, I measured from the old initial monument east on 
the parallel 2,257.25 feet distant, to the astronomical meridian, tem- 
perature 51°. The temperature correction is subtractive and equals: 
(11 X 0.0000065 X 2,257.25) = -0.16 foot. The correct distance is 
therefore found to be: 2,257.1 feet. 

The difference in longitude for a given distance along the parallel is 
obtained by the equation:

It is therefore found that from the Red River astronomical meridian 
east to the true one-hundredth meridian in this latitude and altitude 
is 1,442.6 feet. 

April 16, 1902, 1 measured from the astronomical meridian east on the 
parallel passing through the old initial monument, a distance of 1,442.7 
feet, temperature So"-. The temperature correction is subtractive and 
equals (7 X 0.0000065 X 1,442.7) = 0.1 foot; the correct distance is 
therefore 1,442.6 feet. 

At the point thus determined 1 set a gray sandstone, 10 by 14 by 45 
inches, 24 inches in the ground, to mark the true one-hundredth merid- 
ian; stone marked 100 W L 1902 on the N. face; witnessed b}" pits, 36 
by 36 by 12 inches, S. of stone 4 feet and N. of stone 10 feet distant, 
and a mound of earth, 5 feet base, 2^ feet high, 5 feet N. of stone. 
There are no suitable bearing trees or other rock or stone in this 
vicinity. (The stone which is set here we brought 14 miles.) 

From this monument the old initial monument on the Texas and 
Oklahoma boundary bears due west 3,699.7 feet. (1,442.6+2.257.1 = 
3,699.7 feet.) 

From this monument due south to the left bank of Red River is 
1,563 feet. 

The monument is set in the pasture belonging to Mr. Frank Kloskey, 
whose address is Olvmpus, Tex. 

The S£. corner of Mr. Kloskey's house bears N. 43'^ 45' W. from 
the monument, 314.5 feet distant. 

From the monument the pipe of Mr. Kloskev's windmill bears N. 
76*^ 36' W., 280 feet distant. 

The field Avork of this determination was completed on April 16, 1902.
